Volunteer

The Starlight Trust is an animal welfare and rescue organisation based in Surrey

Volunteering with Us

As a very small charity, the Starlight Trust is entirely reliant on the help of volunteers to carry out our work. The trust does not employ any staff so everything we do relies on volunteers. Volunteers are people who freely choose to contribute their time, energy and skills to support the trust’s work.

Our volunteers are unpaid but the trust will reimburse reasonable out of pocket expenses such as petrol, telephone costs and the costs of caring for animals being fostered or transported. For accounting purposes, receipts must accompany any expenses claims submitted.

As we are run from our home, we don’t currently have any opportunities for helping to care for the animals here. This means we are also unable to accept work experience, Duke of Edinburgh or other such placements. However, there are lots of other ways you can get involved.
